Retro Chick Giveaway – Lulu Guinness Cameo City Tote

September 17, 2009 · 90 comments

Following on from my lovely tea on Tuesday and to celebrate the start of London Fashion Week I have an amazing giveaway for you.

The lovely team at Lulu Guinness were kind enough to give us all a little gift to take away consisting of one of the new L.G. for Lulu Guinness City Totes with the Cameo print. These bags are available exclusively through House of Fraser and Lulu Guinness stores and retail for £50. You can see the Cameo Bag on the Lulu Guinness site here

53-595-338-010-W_main1

Inside the bag, as a little bonus, is a copy of Pigeons & Peacocks magazine featuring an interview with Lulu and Lauren Laverne and cute lilac striped folder with a little bit of information about her last collection and the city totes.

Here is your actual prize!

Gorgeous!
Ashe Mischief September 17, 2009 at 6:16 pm: I hope this is open to US residents… I was so excited when you got the tote originally & itch for one!

Julie Mellor September 17, 2009 at 7:18 pm: There’s too much to love!! I agree about the clutch, very nice, but I have a handbag obsession so it has to be either the Kooky eyed cat £225 or the Tromple L’Oeil Street scene ethel tote – oh but then there is the Mirror cutout pollyanna £250!… Right decision made the street scene it is £225 because there is so much to look at on the front (cameo lady, cat in the window and number 20 on the door) and so much space inside!!

Fi September 17, 2009 at 7:40 pm: I love the lips clutch bags and the Every Cloud umbrella but my favourite would be the 20th anniversary purse because it would cheer me up every time I took it out of my bag.

Fashion Limbo September 17, 2009 at 8:01 pm: Been following you for a while and Lulu Guinness too, amd my favourite item on the site is a classsic, the Red Snakeskin Lips…have adored this clutch for so long I really need to get me one, one day not too far

Kanga_Rue September 17, 2009 at 9:45 pm: As a huge Lulu fan – one of my cats is names Lulu after her – I’m not sure I can pick only one!

The shop scenes, grey stripes and cat bags are on my radar.

I love the Icon Earrings – http://www.luluguinness.com/icon_earrings_white_silver.php

But if I have to pick just one item it has to be the Union Jack Clutch – it’s two icons rolled into one! http://www.luluguinness.com/union_jack_snakeskin_lips_clutch.php

I already follow both you and Lulu Guinness on Twitter… and am signed up for her newsletter. So will retweet now.

Cheers, Ruth

K September 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm: Done, done and done.

I’m fairly sure that this bag is far too chic to fill with nappies, wipes, books and beaker? Does this mean that if I win it I will have to buy a new dress?

and find a sitter?

AND venture out for olives and cocktails?

*sigh* I’m sure I can manage this.

Carla Lloyd September 23, 2009 at 11:13 pm: At the moment my favourite is the Union Jack lips clutch. Would love to be able to give one of these to my sister. She collects al things Union Jack, clothing, cushions, umbrellas, toilet seats, place mats, mugs, plates. You name it, she has it including the Union Jack Mini.
However, the bottom line is I love them all. Catching sight of my first Lulu purse in a boutique in Marlow back in 1998/99 was the start of a very expensive and interesting hobby. I collect lulu and vintage handbags which are displayed in an old shop display cabinet in my lounge.
